I think I get it now...

I am my worst critic... always have been and always will be. My father is my second worst critic and he has never hesitated to tell me I suck. I always think people are being nice if they're saying that my photos are great or if they like what I've made them... my eyes just see what I could have done differently to make it even better.

In the past few weeks I've had more than a few people... people that don't really need to be nice to me or say anything to me, go out of their way to tell me that they really enjoy looking at my photos/blog/etc. Just tonight I got a message from a parent at T's daycare saying just that... and a message from our media specialist at work saying my blogging skills rock. She asked if I would teach other teachers how to make the most of blogger. That may actually be fun if S.E. isn't there.

So... I need to stop being stupid and realize that I may actually be talented. I need to stop criticizing myself... so much. The only way to get better is to see where there is room for improvement!
